It does look weird unless it's a defensive squash shot in todays era. Having said that weird is good. Dolgo and Flo Mayer are weird. I believe I've seen them both use one of my favourite shots.. the donkey kick forehand faked deep slice gone drop shot thingy mingy.

So I was recently informed that my signature was empty and needed a life affirming quote from an inspirational figure like Shakespeare or Oscar Wilde...

When I die my mates had better not tweet some cheesy crap like I'm watching over them or some jazz. Watch your train-wreck lives? I'll take my chances in hell.

An offensive forehand slice is really fun to hit. It's kind of like swinging a sword down on the ball. Of course, in my case, the ball flies way out, but I think the pros could use it as a surprise shot every once in a while.

The only way it can be a surprise shot is when you're pretending to hit a drop shit due to the grip change.

A player with a good forehand slice is annoying to play against. It's a very dangerous shot, b/c it is unusual and players aren't used to dealing with it, which leads to a lot of UEs. Alternatively players will often hit a relatively safe or spinny response to avoid hitting a UE.

It is thus often utilized as a point reset.

Santoro famously used his 2hander to bait and switch opposing players, often daring them to come to the net very much like the reverse of the federer dying cc bh slice. This is particularly effective against guys who hit very flat shots.

It is also used to crack the rhythm of a power hitter.

totally agree i have two great tennis buddies that can't match up with me baseline to baseline, then they discovered i have a problem handling the forehand slice. they give it to me out of nowhere. totally screws up my rhythm. and they usually do it when they are on the defensive when i give them some heavy ground stroke shots. the one advantage now is i have learned to read this and force myself to go to the net more. which is awesome
